What's It To Be?

Torn in two and

Mind a thunder

Branching choices

Rent asunder

One and one and two

Make four

One by one I shut

Each door

Choice and choice

And choose and choose

So many ways to win

Or lose

Yes and no and

Maybe too

So many choices

For me and for ___

Stay and go

So many choices

Each to make

Step by step

I shiveringly take

Yes and no

Stay and go

Yes and no

And maybe too

I have to choose

What to say

What to do

Yes and no

Stay or go

What did the happy me

The future man

I hope one day to be

What did he pick?

What did he choose?

What was his trick?

Yes or no

Stay or go

What to say

What to do

So many ways

and no good days

To make a choice

Listen well

My heart will tell

Tell me what?

It's torn in half

My mind a thunder

Thoughts asunder

Yes or no

Stay or go

Win and lose

I must choose

Yes. Or. No.

Yes. OR. No.

Stay. or. go.

No good way

If I go

Or stay

Damned if I don't

Damned if I do

Yes or no

Stay or go

Mind asunder

Heart athunder

I don't want to

Yes or no

Stay or go

I love ___
